No more reporting time for field service!!!
by Khaleesi inso at last i am in my next step of my fade, this month is the first month i did not turned in any hours.
i received a text from our group leader an ms & i told him i didn't have any to report, then of course it got bumped up to the elder & i text him back i have no hours to report for december.
i came to this decision when reading many posters here about the yearbook stats, i do not want & refused to contribute to this organization "boosting" numbers for their glorious purposes, after the rc in australia they do not deserve for me to give them a "production" report of what i do for god, no more.

How about NOT replying at all? That's what I do whenever the elders text me to offer a "friendly" talk with me. Now they can't be bothered at all =)

I put in my last report (with hours & placements) more than a year ago. The next time I was asked for my report, I submitted a blank one with only my name on it. Never got asked for my report again! -

Donating to Charities
by stuckinarut2 inso donating to charities has always been discouraged by the society, as it is a form of support for this "doomed" system.
and of course, "the kingdom" is the only "real solution" to all the problems right?.
but in the meantime, this view gives witnesses a "free pass" from the normal human desire to help out those less fortunate, or ones who were born in another part of the world where life is not as privileged as our own.

JW's prioritize "spiritual" help rather than physical help. They reason that physical help provides temporary relief whereas "spiritual" help provides lasting relief! (yeah)
I never bought this kind of reasoning even when I was still in. I reasoned that physical relief should be the main priority as without it, people could lose their lives! What's the use of "spiritual" help (if you would even call it help in the first place) if the person is dead???
In conclusion, this statement sums it up nicely: People in need of physical help can't eat Bibles!!!

I wore mine during the convention program, but never after. Like Greenhornet, I was embarrased to do so. Didn't want to look like a self-righteous dickhead -

No Sports Cars Please!
by snugglebunny ini read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.
the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.
was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

I never had any success in starting any Bible studies... that fact by itself shows how well the presentations worked!
